7:00 pm
water. >> dana: an easy date. it depends on the doughnut. >> mo: i want us all to be nicer on a human level. like a doughnuts is just a doughnuts. >> jesse: set your dvr, never missed an episode of "the five." "hanntiy" is next. >> many thanks to our friends on "the five," a fox news alert. another breaking news night, following three major breaking stories, a battle brewing between president trump and senator mitch mcconnell as he calls out the senate majority leader for saying his expectations are actually too high. also, president trump firing back against the destroy-trump-media. democrats over their russia hysteria and meltdown. it is a brutal takedown. and also tonight, the president issues a statement of fact, a dire warning to north korea and kim jong un that he will no longer be held hostage. the world will not be held hostage. this after the rogue regime threatens an attack on guam.
7:01 pm
and pyongyang, if they do not get their act together, they will face dire consequences. tonight, the options that america has to stop north korea's growing aggression, we will get to this in the breaking news opening monologue. ♪ the president continues to slam who i called the weak, spineless, sanity majority leader mitch mcconnell for saying that he has excessive expectations. take a look at the president from earlier today. >> i just wanted to get to repeal and replace done. i have been hearing repeal and replace for seven years. i said, mitch, get to work. let's get it done. they should of last one done. they lost by one vote. first thing to happen like that is a disgrace. and it should not have happened. that i can tell you. >> sean: senator, why do you not have the sense of urgency that the president has? my name today was brought up when president trump was asked if mitch mcconnell should
7:02 pm
infect step down? watch this. >> what do you think about him stepping down, conservative analysts including sean hannity saying that he should retire? >> well, i tell you what's but if he does not get repeal and replace done and taxes done, meaning cuts and reform, and if he does not get a very easy one to get done, infrastructure, if he does not get them done, then you can ask me that question. you can ask me the question. that means, ask me that question. >> sean: the president's comments come in response to senator mcconnell whining like a 5-year-old complaining, making excuses to his constituents in kentucky at the president's expectations are just too high to pass repeal and replace after eight months. now here's a news flash for senator mcconnell, get to work, senator. you don't seem to get that to you and your fellow republicans, you are the ones that set those excessive expectations. publicans, they are the ones that were promised over and over
7:03 pm
and over again for seven years that they were going to repeal and replace obamacare. like senator john mccain, he casted the deciding vote that derailed the effort to get rid of obamacare when it really mattered. not a phony vote. so if senators like mcconnell, mccain, and you can throw susan collins of maine in. lisa murkowski of alaska in. voted not to get rid of what they were supposed to get rid of. to these republicans, if you cannot get your job done, then and it's time for you to step aside. we need new people in those positions. americans are suffering every day because of this. so it is time to clean house could put leaders in charge who are going to listen and serve the american people. and while we are athletes, as the president mentioned today, time for those senators to lose their chairmanships if they are going to hold the whole party hostage. senator mcconnell wants to make excuses and whine constantly about president trump being too demanding, senator, time to retire. and if you know what else, it's
7:04 pm
time to drastically cut congresses vacation time. seriously? on vacation? get this in the month of august, the senate will be in session for a whopping three days. would you like a month off? i would. and the year for the senate, off for a total of 69 days. that is over three months. now most of you, including myself, watching this program, what do you think? two, three weeks of the year, maybe some long weekends. and senators like mcconnell do not show up to work for 69 days and then complain when the president is calling them out for not keeping up their promises and getting the job done. well, it is time for mitch mcconnell to get it together or go home. retire, play golf. go on a fishing trip. also tonight, president trump firing back at the destroy-trump-media and democrats who claim that he is going to have firewall bert muller, the president also slammed this rush, rush, hysteria. reporting. watch this. >> i have been reading about it
7:05 pm
from you people. oh, i'm going to dismiss him. no, i'm wanting them to get on with the task. but i want the senate and the house to come out with their findings. judging from the people leaving the meetings, leaks, but they leave the meetings all the time and they say, no, we have not found any collusion. there is no collusion. you know why? i don't speak to russians. >> sean: breaking news, the president defended his former campaign chair, paul manafort after we learned that the fbi executed a predawn raid of his home. because he did not follow hillary clinton's example. watch this. >> i know mr. paul manafort. i have not speak into them in a long time, but he was with a campaign for a short period of time. but i know he is a good man. i thought it was a very -- you know -- they do that very seldom. so i was surprised to see it. i was very surprised to see it. i've always known paul manafort
7:06 pm
to be a very decent man. he is like a lot of other people probably making consulting fees from all over the place. who knows? but i thought that was very tough stuff. >> sean: more on all of this later in the program, but the stop top story the president is not backing down in the nuclear standoff with north korea. after pyongyang said that the threat to attack guam, called the fire and fury comments a load of nonsense. the president responding with a very language and a promise for kim jong un. take a look. >> for people that are questioning the statement, was it too tough? maybe it wasn't tough enough. they've been doing this to our country for a long time, for many years. it's about time that somebody stuck up for the people of this country and for the people of other countries. so if anything, maybe that statement was not tough enough. they what they have been getting away with is a tragedy. and it cannot be allowed. the people of our country are
7:07 pm
saying, our allies are saying, and i will tell you this, north korea better get their act together, or they are going to be in trouble like few nations ever have been in trouble in this world. >> sean: how refreshing, especially compared to obama and former resident clinton that allowed this to happen. the president did also warned north korea about the opposed plan to fire missiles near guam. watch this. >> i read about this where in guam by august 15th, let's see what he does with warm. if he does something in guam, it will be an event the likes of which nobody has seen before what will happen in north korea. it is a statement. it has nothing to do with dare. it is a statement pretty is not going to go around threatening guam or the united states. and he is not going to threaten japan. he is not going to threaten south korea. that is not a day or as you say, that is a statement, a fact.
7:08 pm
>> sean: let's show you exactly what north korea is threatening against guam. a top military general put out a statement last night saying that the rogue regime is drawing up a plan, due to be completed by mid-august which calls for north korea to launch four missiles into the waters off the coast of guam. earlier today the president also address the policies of appeasement and capitulation that were carried out and championed by democrats the last 25 years when it comes to north korea. we all learn from history, we are doomed to repeat it, right? former obama national security advisor susan rice running an op-ed for "the new york times" saying that america may need to could tolerate a nuclear armed north korea at the way the u.s. did with the soviet union. it was 1994, the clinton administration. they cut a deal with kim jong un's father, kim jong il. giving north korea $4 billion in energy aid in exchange for the
7:09 pm
promise that the rogue regime would freeze and eventually and its nuclear weapons program. bill clinton said this was a good deal for the american people. take a look. >> this is a good deal for the united states. north korea will freeze, and to then dismantle the nuclear program. south korea and the other allies will be better protected. the entire world will be safer as we slow the spread of nuclear weapons. >> sean: predictably the deal turned into a complete and utter disaster. a direct reason why we are in the situation we are in on the edge some of the world being on edge tonight with north korea. earlier today, the president called out to president clinton's foolish mistakes. watch list. >> we will always consider negotiations, but they have been negotiating for 25 years, look at clinton. he folded on the negotiations. he was weak and ineffective. >> sean: the president is clearly not going to repeat the policies of appeasement of the past. as we have been saying on the program for years and years and
7:10 pm
for the past couple of nights, there are really no great solutions when it comes to north korea. last night on the show, however, the deputy assistant to the president dr. sebastian gorka said, perhaps there are. take a look. >> there are numerous scenarios that do not involve the use of force or some kind of conflagration on the peninsula. it means we do not discuss them on television that can incapacitate a regime's military. >> sean: and earlier this week on the program, newt gingrich gave a brilliant assessment of how to deal with the north korean threats by building a strategic defense system that president reagan proposed. that gives us what, ten, 20, 30 -- an icbm is headed to the united states instead of one or two shots as getting it out with the fad missile system. joining us now, fox news, general analyst, general jack
7:11 pm
keane. i've been saying on the air, no real good solutions by the listening to the president today. and i do think that the president could be any stronger. the likes of which we have never seen. and maybe what he said the first day was not even strong enough. this is a statement, effect. not a dare. this will happen, what are your thoughts? >> absolutely. the president is totally fed up now that he has a taxi and what the last 25 years have been like with the kim dynasty. he knows full well that his predecessors through policies of negotiation, diplomacy, appeasement, and accommodation have brought to the kim dynasty to the point now where they are nuclear rising icbms that threaten the american people. it has frustrated him, he is fed up with it. he is clearly sending a signal to the leader that i do tend to it deter you. i have the capability to destroy you, and i have the intent to do it. i'm not going to permit you to
7:12 pm
do harm to the american people. he wants to get inside kim's head and make certain that he clearly understands that. and that the policies of the past are flat over. that's what this is about. >> sean: general, i know that mutually assured destruction worked with the cold war. are we dealing with somebody who is capable of understanding being incinerated that many would die? and this is the danger as we just played to bill clinton. oh, this is a good deal for the american people. it was not a good deal for the american people. just like they are deal, is not good for the american people. what is it about this inability of some on the left to understand that you cannot negotiate and bribe these rogue regimes and dictators that they do not keep their word? >> yes, the cold war is very instructive to us. it was very successful in using deterrence against the soviet union. and to have effective
7:13 pm
deterrence, sean, two things you have to have. you have to have number one, really good military capability. your adversaries have to understand that that capability is there. and we have that. number two, your adversary has to understand that you intend to use it. he has to believe that. that there is political will and commitment to use that force if necessary. the soviet union understood that clearly. they understood it very dramatically when president reagan was president. what we have had recently is appeasement, accommodation. and that is what has generated -- i think it is a rational decision on kim's part nuclear's icbms come up with the american people at risk that the united states would never do regime change, which he is paranoid about. that is a actual strategy, had a rational, rational. his bellicose anguish and verbosity. and saying that he is going to destroy the american people,
7:14 pm
that's kind of language is unacceptable. stillness question, general. we appreciate your insight. on a scale of 1-10, how dangerous is the situation for the united states and the world tonight? >> well, it is a dangerous situation. let me just say it in my own words, i do not believe we are going to war with north korea. i think that this president will keep us out of that war because the chinese are believing that this president is sincere about what he intends to do to protect the american people. and the chinese at the end of the day, while they have been gaming us for years and playing the president a little bit. step one, and it is only step one was the u.n. resolution that the chinese fact. there's more to be done on their part prior to the president -- >> sean: is this a 7, and a train? i'm not trying to pin you down -- >> i don't play that game. i'm saying no war. there will be no war. the american people can relax. >> sean: i don't know about
7:15 pm
relaxing. this is pretty bad. general, good to see her. her now with more reaction, former senior intelligence officer, tony shaffer, fox news contributor michael waltz is with us. let me begin with you, how dangerous is this and is this now coming to a head? >> it is as dangerous as ever by the fact that we have allowed this to linger since 1954. and the fact is this, the biggest danger to actual arm's conduct is a miscalculation. general keane just laid out the essence of what we are facing now. we have to actually go about doing what we have to to find a way to convince the north koreans that the idea of appeasement of buying you off is going to end. the current problem goes back to 1984, october of '94 when we went to herd the that president clinton put us in. we knew back then that they had five nuclear weapons, the
7:16 pm
premise of the concept was flawed from day one. and only gotten worse. we do have options to try to take action against the north koreans. we have special operations options. we have been on the books from sea '90s. we have done effective things against the iranians using advanced technology. cyber operations. that is another option. and the last one we have is to make a show that shooting your missiles will be completely affected list by the fact that we have the agent systems off the coast. so the president does have some options short of going to war to show that we mean business. >> sean: let me ask you as we now move forward here, and i keep saying that there is no good options, because we allowed him to get to this point. and that being the case, if we have to take military action even though we had a coalition of china, and russia, let's say israel, western european allies, taking other nuclear sites. he has nukes. is there a risk of nuclear
7:17 pm
fallout? risk that he can fire at guam, south korea, seoul, china, japan before we actually kick the sights out? is that a real worry and concern? worst-case scenario, how many dead are we talking about? >> their trump card for her lack of a better turn the kim jong un has is his artillery. thousands of pieces and the market that are aimed at soul, a city of 25 million plus people. so imagine artillery raining down on a city like manhattan. i'm not confident, what this would look like is essentially our stealth capability, the cyber, the electronic warfare going in early to take down the air defenses so that we then have the follow-on bombers that could get in and get to the missile site and get hopefully him and his control structure. but while that is happening, keep in mind that they dug these things in for 50 years in the
7:18 pm
sides of mountains and bunker complexes. while that is going to take a little bit of time, artillery and rockets could be raining down on seoul. that's the big -- >> sean: but that they would fire, they have the ability to know that there is an attack that is imminent, correct? >> well, that it's right. we could get in and get a lot of their nuclear capability and the missile site before a lot of that occurs, but enough is going to occur that it is going to cause collateral civilian casualties. but the point is that getting back to talks which is what a lot of people are saying that we need to kind of simmered down and get back to negotiation is going to allow his military capability to mature even further. >> sean: thank you both for being with us. busy breaking news night. we will have more on the escalating tensions with north korea, john bolton is next. and much more tonight. straight ahead.

7:23 pm
because things will happen to them like they never thought possible. >> sean: that was president trump earlier today earlier today typically meant delivering another stern warning to north korea and kim jong un. here now, fox news contributor, former u.s. ambassador to the u.n., john bolton is with us. after really a number of presidents and the policy of appeasement, the worse in this place was bill clinton. into the worst on a around was barack obama. but saying, sorry, this is a statement of fact, not a dare, and this means something. how is that a game changer considering north korea thinks that they can roll for another $50 billion of free money and not keep their word? >> chart, after 25 years of failed policies, you cannot count on north korea obeying because of their astute insight that the leadership in america has changed. clear statements from the
7:24 pm
president are important. two elements here. one that if there is an attack from north korea on guam, that is american soil. the citizens of guam are american citizens. and you don't want to think about what the retaliation would be. that is clear, stating that it is important so that there is no misunderstanding. the second issue is whether or not the president should strike preemptively. i think on that score, there is a legitimate debate. but people have to ask themselves whether they are prepared to see north korea with a deliverable nuclear weapons as far as the eye can see. i'm not willing to tolerate that risk. >> sean: i tend to agree with you, but i also shuddered to think of the human carnage that is involved here. the best scenario would be, oh, kim jong un gets the message, he grows up, he stops saber rattling, and firing missiles, and inspecting what he is doing. but we both know that that is not going to happen. short of that, is there anything
7:25 pm
you can think of militarily that we will be able to do that would shut down their ability to launch the weapons? >> number one, one diplomatic option. we talked about it before, persuading china to help us reunify the peninsula. if that diplomatic option is absent, a fairy range of military options, that is why it is important for the american people to make the decision. are you prepared to live with a nuclear north korea, or are you not? susan rice argues today, she is perfectly prepared to live with a nuclear weapons. she and many people like her argued for 25 years, we can talk the north out of nuclear weapons. so their track record to leave something to be desired. obviously nobody wants to see carnage on the korean peninsula. nobody wants to see the americans they are in peril or the people in south korea or japan. but let's be clear, who is ultimately imperil here if north korea has deliverable nuclear weapons and i might say iran at the same time, the
7:26 pm
people in jeopardy are the citizens of the united states. >> sean: the last question then i asked general keane on a scale of 1-10, how dangerous is this? >> i think it is very dangerous. our days an analogy to the cuban missile crisis. i don't think that we really have confidence. we know what kim jong un and his generals will decide. that's one of the reasons why if there is going to be military action it ought to be sooner rather than later. this situation does not get better for the united states over time. a continuously gets worse and more dangerous. >> sean: and millions could potentially die? >> yes, american citizens. >> sean: thank you ambassador, trailing times. president trump fires back after senator mcconnell says he has excessive expectations. really? seven and a half years, lou dobbs is here next. ♪ diesel generators,
